Movement in my peripheral vision distracts me from the chore at hand. Am I seeing things? Mostly, it’s the coming and going of birds and squirrels outside, but when the time is just right – moon in a certain phase or whatever – I can’t help but wonder if it’s something more.
Maybe I’ve just been locked inside for too long…but then I found this quotation, which made perfect sense:
I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side.
STEVEN WRIGHT
What’s niggling at your periphery, or it is you, standing on the peripheral edge of change waiting for your opening?
As usual, take the prompt in whichever direction the muse leads you. To participate, create a post and link back here, or leave a comment below. All are welcome, as as always, I look forward to your creative responses.
Love this one, Heather.

Feel like I’ve always been on that periphery and yet there is a periphery beyond me.

Hi V.J. It’s been a very long time. I’m just beginning to slowly ease out of the worst of chronic pain. It’s been a hell of a journey. Here’s my offering. https://odaciuk.wordpress.com/2021/04/30/im-back/

Thank you for the chance to participate. Been working on this since my visit to the museum several weeks ago. This prompt gave me a channel for organizing my thoughts. Thank you.
